You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
 * I'm not sure if you're representing the game company or not. If you aren't, then that would make the game images you uploaded to Wikimedia Commons a copyright violation. If you are, then you do need to be careful, since by doing so you are essentially giving up the copyrights to the images themselves. This means that people can take and use the images on other things and while they will have to give credit for the images, this credit doesn't have to be prominent (ie, a small comment somewhere) and you will have little to no control over how it's used. It's generally not always a good idea to give up the copyrights for massive amounts of game images. Also, the other issue with the images is that they're generally superfluous for the article. Several sections of the article need to be dramatically pruned, as we almost never have detail like that in the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:25, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remove a lot of the in-game centric data. Wikipedia is not meant to be a WP:GAMEGUIDE, so only a very basic and general overview is needed. Part of this is because it puts a lot of undue weight in the article and also because this can very, very easily appear promotional. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:29, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

To answer your questions, I do understand that Wikipedia is Not a place to promote any business. I'm willing to leave the article "as is" after your edits. As I'm a gamer I'd like to contribute about other games I played (no promotional information and no graphics) and information about my home city and other cities I visited.
 * I need to make sure that you understand several things. Do you understand that Wikipedia is not a place to promote yourself or your business? I'm cleaning the draft article and I'm seeing where there's a LOT of emphasis on promoting the product. Of the reviews on the page, you've pretty much cherry picked the most positive and glowing quotes. Also, are you willing to leave the article "as is" after I finish editing it? You've pretty much written something that is an extension of the publisher's website, like a game guide or other promotional material. Also, how will you edit Wikipedia if you're unblocked? I'm really, really hesitant to endorse an unblocking if you're just going to edit on more of your games. I knew that the article had some issues with tone when I declined it, but so far the tones here are so promotional that I kind of wish that I'd given you a hard block for self promotion, because the draft was very promotional. Actually, it's so much so that I'm actually going to change the block template on this one. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:44, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Note to incoming admins: I've changed the reason for blocking somewhat. Originally I was open to the idea of them just changing their username but their draft article is very, very promotional and I'm concerned that they might continue to make the same edits if they are unblocked. I'm really not certain that they're capable of editing in a neutral tone, even if they go through AfC. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  14:45, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * First of all, thank you very much for explaining the rules and pointing on weak points of my article and removing the unnecessary information. I'm not experienced with writing Wikipedia articles and I appreciate your advice and time here. The purpose to have the article is Not a brute promotion of the game. However to share the information about it, as the game is getting popular and I like playing it. I noticed that Wikipedia has articles about many games and decided to add my favorite one as well. I'm a player of the game and I like it. Thank you for explaining the situation about the graphics, the graphics was taken from the official website and as it may violate the rules and bring harm to Wikipedia and the company, I'm totally for removing it from the article.
 * You're not the game manufacturer? This actually poses a bit of a huge issue since you uploaded a LOT of images from the game to Wikimedia Commons, where you gave up the images as fair use. In other words, if you're just a fan of the series then you don't own the copyrights to the game and cannot post the images as your own work. This would pose a huge copyright issue for these images. I'm just confused about this a little, since the name and the edits gave off the impression that you did. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  15:28, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Now I know about the copyright rules and won't use the graphics this way. I thought using the graphics from official websites is okay. Thank you again for clarification and your time!


 * I'm sorry for the mistake - it's just that the article was so promotional that it really did come across like you were the game manufacturer. Sad enough to say, this happens extremely frequently on here. Just please be more careful with future editing! I'd really recommend going through WP:TRAINING and making heavy use of the WP:TEAHOUSE while working on future articles. There's a list of what sources can be used as a reliable source at WP:VG/RS, which is pretty much the bible for deciding which ones can be used. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  15:45, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
